a beautiful woman. The night robbed her gold hair of its richness, but the moon kissed her even features and made her dark eyes mysteriousFB-

Character Traits & Facts:

Education, Experience & Languages:
she’d never been repulsed by a sheep before. Crosses, scriptures, and holy water, but not a sheepMC-
Even five hundred years ago, sorcerers were rare; she had not seen one since they came to the desertBB-
For a long time Marsilia was more of a figurehead than a leader. Stefan said she was pouting because she was exiledBB-
She’s not as smart as she thinks—and that will be her downfallBC-
Goblins, harriers, the carrion feeders—there are a lot of Marsilia’s allies who hunt in the dayBC-
Marsilia was really old, and did not do emotions quite rightFB-
She was not some helpless girl but a sociopath who had outlived most of her enemiesFB-
speaks ItalianFB-
Marsilia had resisted Frost's magic showed everyone here that she wasn’t just the Mistress of the City—she was a PowerFB-
knew a lot about WalkersFB-
she was so certain of her ability to incapacitate Adam made Mercy reevaluate her intelligence—and not upwardFB-

Spirituality & Personality:
Marsilia has not been herself since she was exiled here from Milan; is once again potent with her hungerMC-187
She hadn’t struck me as the type to be overly concerned about the deaths of a few humans or even a few hundred humansB-
Marsilia has allowed greed to overcome her common sense by trying to control the sorcerer vampireBB-
obsessed with returning to MilanBB-
Marsilia had been sent here as punishment for sleeping around with someone else’s favorite. She’d been a person of influence, so had come here with attendants—mostly, as far as I knew, Stefan, Andre— WulfeBC-
Marsilia is mad. She’s been mad since she awoke twelve years ago, and she hasn’t gotten better with timeBC-
The one thing that Marsilia did care about was the seetheBC-
vulnerable with the loss of her powerful vampiresBC-
Gone was the sex goddess, the vicious woman who hated and despised me. Instead, she looked—ordinary, tired, and . . . and maybe a little scaredFB-
Marsilia did everything with an audienceFB-
didn't want to live in the "before times"FB-
hates stupid peopleFB-

Talents & Skills:
Marsilia had been sent here to die, but she hadn’t. Instead, she’d seen to it that her people survivedBC-
she can track her own bloodBC-
She held the Master of Milan in thrall for centuries, and any vampire with two pennies’ worth of common sense is terrified of attracting the attention of the Lord of NightFB-
Marsilia is no fledgling; She has a well-deserved reputation that followed her here. She is powerful and dangerous, too dangerous even for the Necromancer to fight aloneFB-
maybe Marsilia could see Frost's magicFB-

Health & Fitness:
suffered from malady similar to older wolves; pull away from the world as it changes until some of them live like hermits in their caves, only coming out to feed and eventually even losing interest in thatMC-
faster than MercyMC-
moving like Marsilia, the Mistress of the local seethe—like a puppet, or an old, old vampire who had forgotten how to be humanBB-
Old vampires had money. Marsilia had been going through a fugue—old-vampire version of depression, from what I’d gathered. She had sat around not doing much for years, and that made her look weakFB-
Frost was worried about fighting MarsiliaFB-
Marsilia was a bruiser—and a trained boxer, from her tidy and agile footworkFB-

Quirks:
has a preference for werewolvesBB-66
very, very wealthyFB-
dislikes using phonesFB-

Relationships:

With Mercy:
calls Mercy Stefan's petBB-
asked for Mercy's help in killing LittletonBB-
told Mercy how to kill vampiresBB-
Marsilia told me that the reason vampires feared walkers was that we were resistant to vampire magics and could talk to ghostsBB-
Since she’d sent Mercy after Littleton she couldn’t seek retribution without risking losing control of her seethe. Vampires take things like that very seriouslyBC-
Marsilia could have just killed Mercy, but she was playingBC-
not dumb enough to attack Mercy especially since she's under Adam's protectionBC-
first time Mercy met Marsilia, she'd kind of admired her ... at least until she’d enthralled SamuelBC-
Mercy killed her best hope of returning to ItalyBC-
wants Mercy deadBC-
I do think I would have liked you, Mercedes,” she said. “If you weren’t what you are, and I wasn’t what I amBC-
had her car brought in for an oil change and Mercy ended up destroying itFB-
She hated that Stefan and Mercy were still friends; doing her best to drive them apartFB-
she owes Mercy after her help with FrostNB-

With Stefan:
she hadn't thought Stefan would object to her use of him and his menagerie once he knew that she'd done it to protect herself; she'd miscalculated how badly Stefan would deal with her betrayalRM-05
considers Stefan her right handBB-
When a bound one is made over by someone they’re not bound to, odd things happen; Stefan was never properly subservient to Marsilia, that he was bound by a different vampireBB-
is Stefan's maker; Stefan never had to play slave; He was never a thrall. It happens sometimes, but such vampires are always killed upon their first rising. Any other vampire would have killed Stefan as soon as it was apparent that he wasn’t under their control, but Marsilia was in love. He gave her an oath of obedience, he never broke itBB-
Stefan had been Marsilia’s favoriteBB-
thinks his concern for his menagerie is "cute"BB-
Marsilia knew that Stefan had hidden Mercy's crime of killing Andre; She’d have never hurt Stefan so badly for anything else. She’d tortured and starved him and let him free to come to Mercy to feed: if he’d killed her, no blame would have fallen on herBC-
She tortured you, starved you, banished you—then sent you to kill your little coyote bitchBC-
Stefan serves her even though she has forsaken himBC-
Marsilia hadn’t thought Stefan would object to her use of him and his menagerie once he knew that she’d done it to protect herself; He was, after all, her loyal Soldier. She’d miscalculated how badly Stefan would deal with her betrayal. From the looks of it, he wasn’t recovering wellRM-
she came close to breaking StefanRM-
was courting Stefan with as much delicacy as a Victorian gentleman courted his chosen lady; He’d been her most loyal follower for centuries, and she’d broken the ties between them with brutal thoroughness in order to maintain control of her seethe. Now that he was finally talking to her againNB-
With you in the seethe, Marsilia will fight to protect Mercy because she is needed to keep you in line. You have been Marsilia’s Soldier for four centuries and more. Marsilia needs youNB-
Marsilia will give her word that she will not touch the bond you share with Mercy, won’t try to claim her for herself—no matter how useful a tame walker would beNB-

With the Vampires:
exiled from MilanMC-187;two hundred years agoMC-189
Lord of Night/Master of Milan stuck a pin in a map and exiled her with those who owed her life or vassalageMC-190
considered Andre her left handBB-
Marsilia doesn’t want to waste a vampire—especially not one who has all the powers of a demon at his touch(Littleton)BB-
dissension in the ranks; Bernard and Estelle are making new vampiresBB-
believed that gifted the Master of Milan a sorcerer vampire would end her exileBB-
was bound for a long time to Andre and immediately knew when he was killedBB-
Bernard and Estelle; They work against her where they can, and she knows it. They are of another’s making, given as gifts by a vampire not easily refused. She must take care of them, as she would any such gifts—but that doesn’t mean she has to trust themBC-
she has some allies in SeattleBC-
didn’t see Marsilia being anxious to owe a favor to any vampire—and a vampire who was so territorial that he allowed no other vampires at all was a poor candidate for cooperative problem solvingBC-
civil war Marsilia had brewing in her seetheBC-
loves Lilly dearlyBC-
All a trick. You killed Stefan’s people—knowing he loved them. You tortured him. All to catch Estelle and me in our little rebellion ... a rebellion born from the heart of your own AndreBC-
The Lord of Night might be angry with me, but he would enjoy avenging me; the Lord of Milan talks of her to his courtiersFB-
called Iacapo for aid but he was intrigued with Frost and would not helpFB-
painting the Lord of Night created on the evening when she was banished is still on the wall above his bed so that he can show his lovers that none can compare with his Bright DaggerFB-
Wulfe is her right hand nowNB-

With the Wolves:
has been "asleep" for two centuries; awakened when she fed off SamuelMC-187
used to prefer wolves to more mundane preyMC-189
fed off the werewolf mistress of the Lord of Night, which is tabooMC-189
this is why she lost her place in Italy and was sent to AmericaMC-189
bespelled Samuel with her biteMC-
owes the werewolves a blood price for the sorcerer vampire because of the hurt werewolvesBB-
used Wulfe to magic a trap for the wolves at Uncle Mike's; they never found out it was her doing thanks to Mercy covering it upBC-
Bran doesn't know her wellBC-
had to enter negotations with the wolves for her attacks on MercyBC-
owes the packFB-
Because Marsilia benefited from our pack. No one wanted to take on Adam—and because Marsilia and Adam had cooperated a time or two, people thought that we cooperated more with the vampires than we really didFB-
considers Adam her colleagueFB-
need the pack to keep her seethe safe until she gets some more vampires with power here, but she doesn’t like us very muchNB-

With the Fae:
